Ogletown Recreation Board

Winter can be fun or down right hard for many folks. There are many snow activities that can help deal with the snow and cold. Ogletown itself sits at around 2700 feet in elevation. Parts of Ogle township are between 2200-2900 feet in elevation. With that said we do receive a good bit of snow every year. Many times Windber can just have a dusting of snow, while here in Ogletown we could have 6-12 inches or more.Why? Mainly due to lake effect snow and up-sloping snow, where in essence the cloud is forced up along the ridge and basically wrung out. Township roads are taken good care of during storm, and are passable. So what’s average. Below are the average temperatures and snow totals for the last five winters. Temps is the average recorded for Nov-March of that snow season and Snowfall usually starts in October and ends in April, there are times where it snows before October and after April, totals do have this added as well. A collective average is around 120-140″ per year depending on elevation. Anytime you want to see a temperature or snowfall amount go to the NWS State College web site for Co-Op Observations. All my totals for the entire year, including rainfall, all temps, wind ect can be found there. Ogletown reporting station is called Windber 7SE.

Windber Sportsmen’s Association 2017 Newsletter
2016 was a good year for the club. The Kid’s Rodeo, our biggest event, was a great success with a
record 294 Kid’s. We thank all those who donated their money or time to make the Kid’s Rodeo
possible. We did have some bad news later in the year when an infectious disease hit our hatchery.
Although it was quickly dealt with, we did lose some fish. The loss of fish will NOT affect the 2017
Kid’s Rodeo; however, there will be a slight decrease in stockings while we rebuild our numbers.
Stan & Carol Custer are retiring from their positions at the Club. We wish to thank them for their
many years of outstanding service. In turn we wish to welcome Dave (Cricket) & Cara Miller and
wish them the best of luck.
We encourage you to purchase the enclosed $1 raffle tickets. The proceeds help pay our expenses.
Tickets will be drawn at the Kid’s Rodeo. Additional tickets are available upon request.
In addition to our continued work at the dam and clubhouse we will be improving the shooting
range in 2017. We will also be offering NRA certified firearms safety classes and shooting classes.
